While I do think this penne pasta with beef neck sauce would be an amusing and delicious dish to serve at a vampire-themed dinner party, I'll admit my real motive was to attract some new visitors to the site using some of these extremely popular search engine key words.

Thanks to True Blood and the Twilight movies, America is vampire-crazy, and associated word searches on Google are very popular. So if you are reading this post because you thought it was going to be about vampires, or vampire movies, or vampire television shows, or vampire fashion, or vampire games, well, it's not. (See what I did there?)

This recipe does take a long time, but requires very little effort, and you'll be rewarded with a wonderful, richly-flavored sauce. The hardest thing will be getting some neck bones, but a quick conversation with your friendly neighborhood butcher should be all you need. Just be careful. For whatever reason many real-life werewolves actually make their livings as butchers. Look for the unusually thick ear hair.

By the way, speaking of search engine key words, I can't say for sure, but I think Lindsay Lohan, Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Aniston, and LeBron James would really love this pasta recipe. Enjoy!

Looks delicious! Couple of questions:a) Can't you just use a crock pot? It would turn it from a weekend project into a weekday treat (cooks while one's at work).b) Would rinsing the jar with red wine improve/hurt it?

Great post! Really looks delicious! I really think this is something Edward & Bella will really want to sink their teeth into, but it will probably upset all the members of Team Jacob. I might use this recipe for Halloween this year.

I know this is an outdated comment, but i hope you still can post a reply.It is, here in Belgium, impossible to find neckbones (with meat), as the butchers have to remove the spinal cord because of the Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease. What is my best alternative: another cut from the cow, or neck-meat with or without another bone extra thrown in the pot?
